<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Richter scale </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earthquakes occur as a result of tectonic stress that is generated by the boundaries across the earth. The energy released from the plates travels as seismic waves that can be measured and felt at the same time. The earthquake intensity is therefore measured by Richter scale; it measures the size of the seismic waves determining the strength of the earthquake and rates it on a scale ranging from one to ten.

The severity of the quake differs based on different events that can be easily determined using the measurement devices.

Margarita [4]

Answer: b. Orchid mantises tend to be advantaged in habitats that remain constant; the rain forest habitat is likely to shift because of global climate change.

Explanation:

The orchid mantis is a predator in South East Asia that camouflages itself as an orchid to catch its prey.

While the tropical cockroach is a more hardy specie, the optimum habitat for orchid mantises is one with limited variation in temperature, moisture and humidity. Therefore, as temperatures increase and climate change results in severe weather changes, it will lead to adverse effects on orchid mantises.
